Big Red

We just made it though another snow storm.  We received 14" in 2 days. It is supposed to continue to snow off and on all week.

Hope you stay warm where you are!

Downy or Hariy Woodpecker

I think this is a Hairy Woodpecker, because it has a longer bill.  It is so hard to identify.  It is much easier when they are together.  Please tell me what you think.  Thanks

Oh deer, it is COLD!

I see these deer every morning on my way to work.  This morning the temp read -19 F. 

I am thankful for the farmer that left a little corn in his field for the wildlife to eat.  I am thankful for the beautiful deer I see every morning on my way to work.  I am most thankful that this cold weather will not stay forever and SPRING will be coming.  I can't wait to be in my garden!

I need a little sunshine!

I have been hoping for some sunny days to take some better photos... but  I am still hoping. Here is a photo of a blue jays, and a white-breasted nuthatch.

Just a few of my favorite shots of the week

Christmas Quilt

Here is the quilt I made for our nephew, who lives in the Twin Cities.  He just loves to watch the trucks remove the snow from the parking lots. He is 19 months and can watch them through the window for hours. My husband farms and he thinks it is cute that our nephew calls all road construction equipment tractors.

Stay Warm

I am not a big fan of the squirrels, but this time of year it is hard not to feel sorry for them.
